New Site Live!!!

Well, what do you guys 'n gals think?

Just spent five minutes trying to get to the general forum, after hitting a link in an email I'd received and getting a web error!!  Personally, at this moment in time (on my way out the door at the moment) I don't particularly like it!! 

We've got some little issues to sort out so give us a couple of hours and it should all be working properly again....

Justin

I think it's really cool!

Good job Costas, David & Justin.

I'm sure it will be really good as are most of the things you do Justin...........BUT ........at the mo, I'm having a 'senile blonde' moment ( AGAIN ) and can't make head nor tail of it !!!.....................Never good at change me !!!

Like everything new I hate it, can't find what I'm looking for, can't find the site's I regular look at.  I'm sure I'll get used to it.

Once logged in under the "Community" tab in the top menu you will find all your previous stuff!

We've got a busy few hours ahead today....

Justin

I think it looks really good. May take a couple of times to find everything but hopefully I'll soon get the hang of it. Well done. it must have been a nightmare to sort and I can imagine very stressful as the button was pressed to upload and go live.

I think it great, nice an colourful.

Looks good. Can we have a "remove off plan forum" option? Would help if you could remove unwanted ones after a quick "nose" around!!

Sorry Justin, thanks for all your hard work but it's more difficult to use.  On my pc each page now takesages to load whilst waiting for the 'google' ads to download - every time I try to navigate around the forums.  Also (maybe just on mine??) but each thread opens at a default oldest post first.  Yes it's easy to change when working out the arrows, but that in itself is confusing as alongside the arrows is a button for 'newest posts'.  I assumed this meant on the thread I was viewing, but not so, it takes you to new posts on the site.  So found the arrows, ok to use but when wanting to go back, hitting the back button takes you back to the page with oldest posts before getting back to the menu.  Too much hassle.  Can the default on threads be newest first?

Cool!

Erm... Well... It looks nice but I just have to find my way around and then it''l be fine. A few logos are missing etc but that's par for the course, altering my website is a pain in the backside but this looks like it was a quadruple bypass job. Well done, bound to be a few glitches it just can't be helped.  Now I just have to work out where my blogs are!!

Hi Jane.  We're just working on the posts order at the moment.  Should be sorted shortly.

We'll also take a look at the page loading speed!

Keep the feedback coming please, it's really important for us.

Thanks

Justin

Personally I like the order old at the top to new at the bottom. Can't fault you yet, especially now I have found where my blogs are.

I cant bring up the latest links and some are reading oldest to newest, How do you reverse this. I prefer the old system

Hi Janmet

The blue bar at the top and bottom of this page has a link that says "latest threads" and "latest posts" if that's what you're looking for.

We're just sorting the sorting part out....no pun intended!

Justin

oops I am having a senior moment I think, can't find anything, it isn't where I left it ooooooo things might change tomorrow, joking apart don't like it at the moment, for some reason everything seems to be over to the right but I suppose we will get used to it in time.  Keep up the good work but don't do changes too often please we get lost too easily.  Have a great day everyone no matter what you are doing, even if it is negotiating your way around Eye on Spain.

Hi Everyone,

Well some good 'n some bad comments, however you must remember that the forum hasn't changed for almost five years now, and even though sometimes change isn't always for the better, I must say that this time it IS for the better!

The 'look and feel' of the site is cleaner and fresher and I'm sure that once people get used to navigating around, they too will see that it's more 'user friendly' than the old site.

There is SOOOOO much more to come your way and despite the 'teething troubles' with the launch of the new site, trust me, you will be chuffed to bits with what Justin and the EOS team have in store for you over the coming months!  

It will take a day or two to get used to the new layout and finding the stuff  that interests me but other than that It's OK. As Jacqui said, it must have been terrific hard work and a hairy moment when you launched it. Well Done!!

dennismundy I totally agree with your request for a delete button in the 'my develiopments' area. I recall someone requested this over a year ago and it would have been a useful feature. When I go to 'my developments' it takes an age to load and more than half the developments  are no longer of any interest to me. So please Justin, can you arrange it when you add the 'SOOOOO much more'  that Techno says is coming ??
